That wasn’t a freak injury

[Rockapotomuss]

Sandhagen ripped a heel hook just before the finishing sequence that tore the knee. It was a sub, not a freak injury that ended the fight.

No, I don't think that's what happened.

Like he said, it happened to Dillashaw the exact same way too. TJ was a tough SOB, I do think Cory won that fight TBH.

Something was nagging at Figgy when he got up from a scramble a few minutes before the finish and you could see a change in his demeanor. Maybe @KazDibiase has the gif?

I dont think it had anything to do with a heel hook tho, its the pressure to the knee in that position/move, Sandhagen just explained it in the post fight show.

I scored it Corey initially, but since I'm his fan I rewatched it and still scored it for him.

Corey caused the TJ injury too and didn't get credit for it in that fight. That is significant damage that he caused that people pretended didn't happen (including the judges).

I wonder if it was the fact he hadn't landed a single sig strike in the fight yet...

Sandhagen was beating the shit out of Figgy the whole fight anyways while they were fresh. Injury or he caused it intentionally, the better fighter won. Who knows if Figgy fights again after this.

I don't know what the actual move's called, if it has a name, so I'm going with legoplata. The leaning forward pressure from that position seemed to pop the knee.

Yeah, he explained it perfectly. Figgy put himself in a bad position and Corey realized it and used leverage by sitting up and putting pressure on the knee.

 

[Prazeres]

Cory established the threat and Figgy made a mistake.

 

[Oscar Madison]

Corey and Figgy were twisting each other's legs to injure each other --

and Figgy lost that battle of legs -- then he got pummeled whilst in agony for his busted leg.

Freak accident? extremely doubtful.

I'm currently dealing with a knee injury and all that reaping was making me sick

 

[Sms_productions713]

This shit scares me about live rolling. I remember when Tai in his last fight before UFC this happened. He thought his leg was his opponent’s and tore some serious shit

thats what i was saying. pretty sure he ripped taht shit way before when he was pulling on the legs.

 

[DrRodentia]

Keeping the leg trapped as he sat up and established top control was not an accident. He knew that was going to cause tremendous pressure to the knee.

Watch the way the knee tweaks right before Cory fishes rolling him on his back. Immediate grimace on his face. Looked like a bad angle and just a little toooo much torque to get Figgy lay on his back.

 

[Rockapotomuss]

In post-fight Sandhagen says he popped the knee coming up from 50/50. Sure, but I don't think he's watched it back or remembers that he had already damaged it with the heel hook.
